OCLC WorldShare Management Services has improved library workflows, operations and user engagement. Learn how sharing at Webscale frees you to focus on higher priority projects—the ones that matter to you and your community. WorldShare Management Services is fast becoming the choice for circulation, acquisitions, license management and a next-gen discovery experience for many library users. The OCLC WorldShare Platform allows you to share apps, ideas and creativity with the entire library community and beyond.
Debbie represents the needs of OCLC member libraries by providing leadership as a delegate to OCLC's Global Council since 2010. She also serves on OCLC Canada's Advisory Council. Debbie will open this event by sharing some of her experiences in these leadership roles.
Nigel is based in Calgary, Alberta, and is responsible for introducing the cooperative's latest initiatives, such as OCLC WorldShare, to libraries throughout Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia and the Territories. Nigel has worked in libraries in Great Britain and Canada, and has also served as CASLIS President and as a member of the CLA Executive Council.
